A history of skating as a whole has yet to be written.

Most extant writing on the general history of skating
contains almost as much myth and false suggestion as truth.

The work in Dutch of the late J. van Buttingha-Wichers
is stored with historical information, but chiefly of skating
in Holland. Many of his references I regret to have been
unable to include in this list.

The booklet of Dr. G. Herbert Fowler is also excellent
from an historical point of view, but it professedly deals
chiefly with early skating and with figure skating, and not
with skating as a whole.

On the art of skating the more notable books are : —
Austrian, by Holletschek and by Diamantidi and others ;
Canadian, by Rubenstein ; English, by Vandervell and
Witham, the Goodmans, Monier-Williams and others, and
the "Badminton" writers; French, by Garcin and Vail;
United States, by Swift and Clark.

I have to thank the Administration of the Bibliotheque
Nationale, Paris, for the courteous reception accorded to me,
and the valuable assistance rendered when searching for
French works on skating.

To Eugene B. Cook, of Hoboken, New Jersey — who is the
authority on skating in America — I am indebted for very
many references.

Mr. C. G. Tebbutt has helped me to many speed skating
references. Several correspondents have assisted me to
individual titles.

To all my helpers I have pleasure in expressing my thanks.

This (which is practically the fourth) edition of my list has
been prepared at the suggestion and with the valuable aid of
Dr. G. Herbert Fowler. At his suggestion the Grand
Council of the National Skating Association of Great Britain
invited their co-members of the International Skating Union
(Internationale Eislauf Verein) to officially subscribe for copies
of this bibliography.

The resulting subscriptions have enabled the work to
appear. A work of such a purely technical character has
interest for such a limited circle of readers that without this
subscription its publication would not have been warranted.

In the list the letter (m.) following a title denotes that such
work is in the British Museum Library, London ; (st.p.),
that the title is taken from the St. Petersburg Club list;
(o s.), from the lists in " Deutscher Eis-sport" 28th March
1893, Ist October 1894, & c - » (°-)> tnat tne work noted has
not been seen by me, and that the entry has been made up
from imperfect references ; other terminal letters indicate
either private ownership or the authority from whom the
entry emanated.

Notes on historical points occur in the list under the
years 1648, 1662, 1754. The Icelandic works grouped for
simplicity under XII. century are really of various dates.
Some other works are placed under the dates to which they
refer instead of under those of publication.

The frontispiece is a facsimile of a woodcut of 1498 (see
list), and is the earliest skating picture known to me.
